Case 5: Partner Notification and Counseling Services for HIV

You answered:

With provider referral, which involves someone other than the
patient notifying the partner of an HIV exposure, patient information
is rarely kept confidential.

This answer is incorrect. Regardless
of whether health department counselors or clinic personnel are involved
in provider notification, no information about the original patient should
be disclosed to partners who may have been exposed to HIV.
